My shoes on Swide.com

As a huge D&G fan I designed a while ago a pair of shoes inspired by their logo. There is a strange thrill of excitement in wearing a much desidered designer cloth, a funny feeling similar to floating on air. We love shoes and their height is something addictive, once we get used to it we want to experiment higher and higher heels. Cesare Paciotti once said that women are meant to walk on heels and that he wanders why they haven't been created with an embedded heel on their feet. We like how it feels to be taller maybe because we can look down on everyone. That is why I drawn the D&G tribute shoes very high because the woman that wears them feels fierce and powerful, like a giant between other humans. She carries the D&G logo around the city proud to be their testimonial, a devoted fan almost a follower of a religion of style.
The super kind Swide team liked my tribute as a fan and dedicated to my drawing a page on the super cool Dolce&Gabbana magazine. I feel honored and thrilled exactly like I'd feel if I was wearing D&G.
And now, if you like, have a look at the tribute shoes I drawn on Swide.
